GALVESTON FISHING CHARTERS COMPANY

Some picture from one of our Charters

Saturday, the action was red hot in East Bay and mid-Galveston Bay. Limits and near-limits of trout were being taken by a large number of anglers in both areas.

The Houston Ship Channel spoil banks also were producing a lot of trout and reds.
Capt. Windy Marshall, Eagle Point Bait Camp, reported full limits of reds and 22 trout up to 28 inches caught by Capt. John of Reel Burners Charters. His Saturday charter fished Trinity Bay shell pads using live croaker for bait.

Marshall said he had more than 20 boats return Saturday with catches of 20 to 40 trout as limits or near-limits for each vessel. Live croaker was the bait of choice.

 David Noyes fished out of April Fool Point and found outstanding action on trout along the ship channel spoil banks. They landed 16 trout using both live shrimp and croaker for bait.

Deep shell in East Bay was where the fish were biting in that area. Bass Assassins and live bait were the keys to taking limits and near limits of specks.

Dudley Morgan of Crystal Beach drifted some of the smaller shell reefs near Hannah’s Reef and landed six trout and four reds, retaining his limit of three reds. Bass Assassins Chicken on a Chain with brown with chartreuse tails accounted for all of the fish. The bite was on early and slowed around 9 a.m.

Spanish mackerel were thick around the North Jetty on Saturday, as many anglers fishing the rocks were having their leaders severed by the small sharp-toothed fish.
